A sample of Chlorine gas has a volume of 20 L and a pressure of 4 atm. What will the

pressure of the gas be if the volume is decreased to 5 L?

Answer 1

Explanation:

`from \: boyle 's \: law \\ P _(1)V _(1) = P _(2) V _(2) \\ (4 * 20) = (P _(2) * 5) \\ P _(2) = ((4 * 20))/(5) \\ P _(2) = 16 \: atm`
